With the Federal Reserve signalling it is close to cutting rates and the Bank of Japan intent on slowly raising its rates from near zero this year, the wide 5 percentage point spread between dollar and yen interest rates should shrink eventually, helping arrest if not reverse the yen's depreciation.  ( 26 min )

Honeywell did not violate workplace anti-discrimination laws by firing a white engineer who refused to participate in mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion training after the Black Lives Matter movement began, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Wednesday.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday testifies before the Senate Banking Committee in a hearing likely to take stock of whether recent signs of slowed inflation and a slowing U.S. job market will prompt the central bank to accelerate its plans to cut interest rates. At the Fed's June 11-12 meeting the median projection of 19 officials was for just a single quarter-point rate cut by the end of the year, but since then inflation data has come in weaker than expected and several policymakers - including Powell - have begun noting concerns about a slowing job market. Data last week showed firms added a still-healthy 206,000 jobs in June, but revisions to prior months show the trend is lower, and Powell in recent public comments said the U.S. may be at the point where further weakening in the economy causes a jump in the unemployment rate.  ( 62 min )
